Sprints

Alright I am trying to gauge where I should be with these. I have did em for so long, but here of late I have been feeling like some shit a few hours after I do em. I normally do em every other day and sometimes back to back days. Just trying to see how often you fellers do em?

How are you progressing them? Are you increasing to much from week to week? Are you lower rest interval? Are you working off heart rate recovery so you can display optimal power? What is the purpose for the sprints and how are you executing them?

i am normally doing 10-15 sprints of about 25 yards. I really havent progressed yet with them, but soon I am going to up it another 5-10 yards. I am normally resting about 30 seconds between each sprint. I am not working off of heart rate, though I probably should be. And my main goal is to increase aerobic capacity. It would be a bonus to get faster, but right now better shape is the key! I really work on form!

Heres another question: I noticed I am a bit slow off of the start so how do I speed up acceleration?

ditto to the above...need more info

when I do them I run a 100 then walk one and repeat for 10-15 minutes.

i so my sprint work w/plyos 3x one week 4x the next. if im feeling shitty one day ill skip em as i dont think itll do anything for me speed wise just burn some cals. maybe change up ure routine as u said uve been doing sprint work for awhile.

Trips I would much rather with shorter distances. Reason being this is around about the distance for bases and if I were to sprint the entire 50 yards I wouldnt be goin top speed the whole time.

This got me thinking, DD. I had been doing 50 yds almost all the time, once in a while longer. I think I need to do different distances throughout the week. Some days go shorter 20-30 yds, other times more distance.

And since when do you have to run around the bases? I thought you just hit them over the fence?
